מאמר באנגלית לתרגול קריאה. כולל 5 מילים חדשות עם תרגום לעברית, 3 שאלות הבנת הנקרא, 5 שאלות לשיחה. מתאים לרמה בינונית.

Read the article below.

The computer giant Apple has removed all customer reviews from several of its online Apple stores. The reviews section was a useful way for customers to leave feedback for other people about Apple's products. The reviews section on the Apple Store began disappearing last week. Apple has removed the "Ratings and Reviews" section of its online stores across the world.

The reviews pages have gone from the stores in the USA, UK, and Australia. This means that anyone in those countries who wants to find reviews on Apple products will have to visit other websites. Apple has not yet commented on its decision to remove the ratings and reviews section, so nobody knows why they have taken this action.

The website pcmag.com speculated that the removal could have been a mistake, but then it said the removal was part of a new Apple policy. It said: "Clearly, Apple has decided its online store is better without customer feedback for some reason. Alternatively, the customer feedback system is being overhauled." PCMag said Apple used to be very open and allow all kinds of comments, including very negative reviews. It said: "Apple wasn't shy about leaving extremely negative reviews and ratings upon its store in the past". It added: "We're also heading into the busiest shopping period of the year, and Apple online store customers have lost an important source of information when deciding what to buy."
